Here some wicked music for anyone else interested in jazz to have a listen to - in fact even if you think you hate jazz you should listen, and go on, I dare you to enjoy it...
Clare Teal's big band rendition of her own Messin' With Fire:
John Coltrane's awesome take on Rodgers and Hammestein's My Favourite Things:
Sammy Davis Jr's Medley in Paris - so effortless, and not to mention the casual cigarette in his hand which we must admit does not hinder his voice in the slightest. I particularly like the West Side Story section, it's "real cool!":
June 22nd, 1969 jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald with accompaniment by Ed Thigpen on drums, Frank de la Rosa on bass, and Tommy Flanagan on piano:
Inspired by Ella, Beyonce has a good crack at scatting and jazzing up Deja Vu:
Another modern jazz diva is inevitably Christina Aguilera: how does a white girl sing like this?
And finally, another modern and more generic singer, Lady Gaga - who'd have thought it?
I don't think it get's much better than this!
